Letter: Obama fails to keep his promises

Editor: President Obama promises a lot. He promised to cut the national debt in half, unity, accountability, responsibility and the "most transparent administration ever" but gave us the opposite and created three record deficits totaling $4 trillion.

He promised his stimulus would keep unemployment below 8 percent. Billions went to other countries, we have three years of unemployment above 8 percent and he joked about there being no such thing as shovel-ready jobs.

He told us the economy was getting better and the recession was over, then said he didn't know how bad things were. He continues to blame America, voters, etc., for his failures.

He lied to us and failed the country. His signature program, Obamacare, cut more than $700 billion from Medicare, increased the number of uninsured, increased premiums 9 percent and has 18 separate tax increases costing taxpayers (mostly middle class) $1.8 trillion annually with 16,000 new IRS agents to enforce it.

His administration testified to Congress the individual mandate was a penalty, while testifying to the Supreme Court it was a tax. The Supreme Court ruling means Democrats gave us "the single largest middle-class tax increase in American history."

He threw billions at failing "green" companies (Solyndra went bust after getting $500 million) while military and Social Security recipients went without cost-of-living increases.

He continues to propose higher taxes, more spending and more regulations. He's printing more money to pay for his spending, devaluing the dollar and increasing prices on everything.

His insistence on higher taxes for the "wealthy" would raise family business owner's taxes 45 percent. The CBO is projecting a jobless rate rising to 9.2 percent in 2013. One study predicts total collapse of the U.S. economy by 2027.

Mr. Obama did this with the willing help of almost every Democrat in Congress! As President Ford stated, "A government big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take away everything you have."
